#2 Girlfriend, caffeine pills, and new shibboleths.

Has anyone noticed how "blog" and "borg" are similar? Yes, that's a reference for all the star trek fans, (STNG) but don't get all misty eyed or anything as I'm not really a fan. Though, my tree planting foreman once said, "everyone get out your watches and 'borg up'" which meant synchronize watches. I thought it was priceless, but I was high on caffeine at the time, so what did I know?

GO here: Why? A short, scientific explanation of why I used caffeine pills for eight years of highballing as I was treeplanting.

For this borg, I'm going to explore my relationship with Sarah, my g/f. Until about 2002, you'd have typed in "girlfriend" but now with the proliferation of messenger services many shortcuts and abbreviations are available. I'd almost call them, shibboleths if I didn't want to be called a Jewlover, anti-semite, or whatever will be cast upon me as the latest calumny. But back to the g/f...

GO here: Why? Because you probably don't know what it means.

That explained, I'll try to keep them to a minimum. LMAO


Sarah. First off, if she ever reads, hears of this, or otherwise catches a drift: sure, I love her. She's got a wonderful voice, incredible disposition, fantastic ass(in Brazilian underwear!) and she's great at providing the basic necessities to a porn fanatic. Really though, after her alteration, I had some problems with her family as it seems that I've become the whipping post/scapegoat for all the growing up my g/f has done lately. More importantly, now that she's slipped the grasp of her backwards and controlling family(lovely people, mind you, just controlling and backwards) she's able to grow, reach, exalt as it were. For this, I'm a front row spectator: take a week ago.

Another foreigner, let's call him Jeffool, was badmouthing me in a bar. M'eh, if anyone in my family or even vicinity is suprised by that, I'd be surprised myself. The point was that it was undeserved(really) and that she had the temerity to stick up for me. She basically, in a bar, in front of witnesses, said to the fa...er...guy... "Hey, I don't want to hear it, don't bother speaking to me." And that was that. (n.b. He threatened me in print back in September in a local rag, but he's too much of a coward to ever effect anything he writes. Classic, Anal retentive narcissist, and as I've stated to his face he'll: "end up in prison or in therapy and I hope it ain't therapy." But back to Sarah; let's give context.

Sarah is approaching thirty, and though she's doing it with panache, she's still a woman. I understand this as I check out her thingies daily.[By panache, I had to admit/kudo the fact that her latest hobbies have been getting in shape at the gym and Tae Kwon Do, both of which are shaping her ass into a masterpiece as well as toning her body to that of a porn star.) Her sister, on the other hand, has just had a baby and ("Just" being around April 2nd, 2005). I must say that it appears that Anna(sister in question) has had "eating and ballooning" as hobbies of late. Pregnacy and eating.



Thusly, Sarah's biological clock has been upgraded to biological timebomb. The fuse is set, the countdown readied, etc, (insert stock chick joke here). Her sister and her are polar opposites as Sarah is reliable, conciencous, debt-free, and has a wisdom that allows her to clamour for more knowledge even if it contradicts what she "believes" at the moment. ie. she's pretty open minded(c.f. quote on "porn fanatic" above). Being that they both(as well as a younger neophyte sister) came into this world by way of a fanatically repressed psuedo-protestant family, I'm liable to forgive the obvious "breeder" mentality that has suddenly taken her hostage, mentally, emotionally, and well, dare I say it?: neurotically. (PS to that: Ask her if she cut her hair before her 18th birthday or wore pants instead of a dress at any time before she was 21 and you'll get my drift about her religious influences and where they "squarely" place women.)

To whit: recently I had occasion to discuss with my beloved our future together. She had the whim that I'd get rich and support her as she did these things: 1) Not work. 2) Study some as yet undetermined form of artistic enrichment. Yes, that's right, I'd work and she'd do whatever struck her fancy. Now, needless to say, the gist of the entire conversation might surprise you - for 2 reasons. #1 I didn't freak out, but instead just waited for confirmation of the idiocy(ok. maybe it was stunned silence) #2 She came around almost immediately and admitted that it sounded selfish and petty even to her.

See, the beauty of my g/f is that ultimately she has chosen sensiblility over religious repression. Her intelligence, evident by two University degrees, is compounded by a will and ego that surprises her daily. She just has a black hole of bigotted ignorance and prejudice (against herself as well as others) from being brought up by religious zealous. Though she is stout in her love for them, she later on admits that not all the ideas inculcated by her parents' religious endeavors are perhaps "reasonable" if she wants to live in the 21st century(ahem, with me as a b/f). Don't get me wrong, she loves her parents, she just has outgrown their backwards Swedish/Danish/American fanatic religious repression. Breaking through this must seem like a chick cracking the shell on it's first breath from its fragile yet protective egg.

So you are still reading this? Therefore, you are narcissistically involved, or bored and voyeristically waiting for a sexual quotient to be fulfilled. By that, if you don't get the gist of the above link: you are waiting to see yourself in this blog, or waiting to see something that releases your pent up frustrations to the point where you can be a) mastubatorily angry or b) mastubatory.

More on this later. I'm heading to bed.
